Re: [GtkGLExt] GtkGLExt and OpenGL ES

[David Llewellyn-Jones <david flypig co uk>]

Hi Thomas,

Many thanks for the very prompt and helpful reply. I'm really sorry for 
my ignorance about this, but is there any documentation or do you have 
any suggestions for how to approach implementing a target? Are the 
current targets equivalent to what can be found in the quartz, win32 and 
x11 folders?

I was thinking to convert the x11 code, but without understanding it 
better this is turning out to be quite tricky. Does this sound like the 
right approach? If so then I'm happy to persevere.

The gdk code from the current version of GtkGLExt in the repository will 
compile with the GLES headers/libraries, which I found encouraging, but 
I'm guessing this is the easy part!

Thanks again,

David
